Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further ‘medical and forensic evidence’. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes ‘much ado about nothing’.
If they cannot provide this basic service then we as the public need to the law in our own hands. The entier reason we do not is we entrust that to police. But they no longer serve. They are there to increase their budget and militarize themselves to protect only certain people.
So a privatized police force, on contract to only the wealthy who can afford them, accountable only to their employers?
That’s the one. But even then, they can’t be held accountable. Look at the gun buy back. Police all over are refusing to do their job. Same happened during covid. Police forces just flat out refused to listen if they don’t want to. In America it also is happening more frequently. The police refused to action what the state government were asking of them.
Yet every year it’s Police budgets that eat up the Majority of all budgets. So what are they doing?
They are doing what they are capable of within their budgets, that are constrained by the taxpayer.
No they’re not. They have the largest budgets every where. They are misallocating their budget. They are fat on the hog. Salaries and benefits are too high. Their equipment egregious. They are not providing even basic law enforcement capabilities. They should be the first place to look for budget cuts until they get in order
Do you have any idea as to exactly how many police they would need to actively investigate every car break in? You sound exactly like the criminal element in America that is demanding they defund the police to make it easier for criminals to prosper. This is Canada, not America.
You tell me. How many?
More than our taxes will ever pay for, that is assured. Given that there were 239 car thefts per 100,000 Canadians in 2024, (that is not even car break-ins, but car theft) I would suggest we would suggest a ratio of 1 police officers per 1,000 people would suffice.

That’s the number of occurrences now when it isn’t a crime that anyone gets in caught for. Police take it upon themselves to be judges deciding where the law will and will not be applied. Criminals know petty crime is overlooked. Police do not even arrest individuals they find rummage in a vehicle. Those break ins are also not evenly distributed across the country. Police are choosing not to tackle this issue. It is not beneath them. It is their job.
